Tickles

Jennie's POV

3 days after that tweet blown off the internet, it is still the talk of the most people via any social media apps. I decided to request to temporarily work at home which easily approved since my situation is worst for me outside, people and media are still waiting outside the architectural firm, hoping to have a piece of me, and it's really stressing me out, the more adamant they can get, the more chances that they will eventually figure out my background.

I was busy preparing for dinner when my doorbell rang, it's my co-workers, they ask if they can go and see me here, my condo building is secured so i'm confident that not any single one of un-invited guest can enter anytime. I walked through my front door to open it for them.

"Hi, Ms. Kim" Jeongyeon happily greeted me and lifted the cake box she was holding.

"Come in" It's just Seulgi, Momo and Jeongyeon from my team who is here, and I can say that they were the people I can call a friend from my workplace "How are you guys?" They all comfortably settled to sit at the living room couch.

"We're fine, how are you? Are you okay here?" Seulgi asked, I can see concerned looked through her eyes, I nodded in response.

"Yeah, i'm actually used on just lounging in here" fact, I was so used on staying alone starting when father got the presidential position.

"Good to know you're doing fine, ahh we brought beers" Momo sighed in relief and pointed at the coffee table, that's where I notice the paper bags at the coffee table.

"Thanks, let's go have dinner" They followed me to the dining and helped me prepare the table.

"You're living alone here? No dorm mate or anyone?" Seulgi asked roaming around.

"Yeah" I smiled, she nodded.

"This is huge for one person, this must be expensive" I just gave her a smile and continued preparing.

"Right, Mr. Lee informed us earlier that our client will visit by friday to check the progress of building plan" Jeongyeon uttered.

"Yeah, we were in a meeting earlier and I have to be there since i'm the lead architect so you don't have to worry a thing" they nodded.

"But isn't it still dangerous for you to go out? I mean, I think they were okay if you meet them via zoom or anything, it won't harm the plan because you can still explain it to them further" Momo got a point.

"I already discussed that to them, but the client personally requested to see the lead architect of his building since he was going here to check every detail and to make sure that he is not wasting any penny for this plan" I explained further, fact even though Mr. Lee is in favor of me not to go, we can't win against the client's request.

"Let's just hope that it won't be worst like the first day" Seulgi uttered shrugging her shoulders.

"Don't worry too much, let's eat" before I sit down, I picked the paper bag they brought and handed them the beer.

"Ohh, I like that" Jeongyeon were so excited, we can see through her, she's quite the alcoholic type.

"Ayoo, planning to get drunk are you?" Momo teased her, Jeongyeon just make face to her.

"How's Calix doing? I mean, he's the lead at the office since I was just communicating through internet with you" I asked.

"He's good, no need to worry, even though he was the temporary lead at the department he isn't the type to say the final word, he was always like, 'let's ask Ms. Kim if it's okay with her' or 'is Ms. Kim already approve to this?' Then 'If she didn't like it, will change it, got it?'" Seulgi even mimic Tyler's physique.
